Chop. Heat. Serve.

What’s your favorite type of meal to cook?

A couple of colleagues and I were discussing this topic during a break at the conference yesterday. We all agreed casseroles and crockpots were the way to go, simply because they’re so easy to do -just throw everything in a casserole dish or crock pot, and you’re good to go.

Keeping along the same line, I’m a big fan of the throw-everything-in-a-pan-and-let-it-sizzle-on-the-stovetop approach. Let’s take today’s lunch for instance. I didn’t know what I wanted, so I grabbed a little of this , a little of that, chopped it all up, threw it in a pan, and served hot.

Pretty tasty, too.

In the mix:

peppers

onions

chicken sausage

mushrooms

spinach

To fill the plate, I had a serving of pita chips and hummus on the side.

I’m all about the easy meals — cereal, eggs on the griddle, or tossing anything and everything in tin foil and putting it in the oven and forgetting about it. Yummy and functional. I can’t wait to get a crock pot and rock it on a daily basis. Fingers crossed for Christmas!! Enjoy the weather — it’s gloomy here, the sun’s setting and the temp is falling, but I’m going to bundle and go to running team training before my overnight shift regardless!!Chelsie @ Balance, Not Scale recently posted..Friday Fifteen

My favorite meals to cook are what I call “clean out the fridge meals” – meals you can toss any leftovers veggies, beans, grains, etc. in and go. I usually try to do this with omelets, soups, and pasta sauce!Rachel (Two Healthy Plates) recently posted..Link me up before you go go – 11.9.12

Something I make A LOT is grilled chicken breast, sauteed veggies (whatever we have on hand. Usually a mix of a bunch of stuff), and brown rice with Sazon in it. We have it all the time. It is quick/easy/and yummy!!Sloane @ Life Food and Beer recently posted..Life Food and Beer Turns ONE!

I often just throw whatever I feel like in a pan for lunch if I’m at home (or breakfast, with a dippy egg or two on top). Add a couple of spices and you’re done. It’s easy, healthy, and delicious!

I must say I like dishes that can be thrown in the oven, too. You don’t have to worry about cleaning a million pans, and you don’t have to watch it, either. Just wait for the beep and take it out.Cher @ Weddicted recently posted..Friday favourites
